The Two Ronnies were geniuses of wordplay,...shame Hardware Stores like the one featured dont really exist anymore else i might put on a silly hat and go and attempt to recreate this sketch haha
Brilliant!!!! This is proper comedy not like the shite that is about today, I just love Ronnie Corbett in this being dead pan he's the best at that and Ronnie barker we will never see anybody like him again he's just the best ever!!!
OMG this is the FUNNIEST sketch they ever did I love it to bits, comedy genius. Ronnie was never happy with the Bill Hooks end, and after filming he realised that a Knockers joke would have been a lot funnier. RIP Ronnie you are sadly missed.
IIRC - this programme is quite sad in that it was a christmas show but was recorded much earlier in the year knowing Ronnie B would not make it till then. When it was aired, he had already passed away - RIP to a genius comedian.
@squareski Then I guess there wasn't a dry eye in the house when they said "For the last time, it's goodnight from me." "And it's goodnight from him." I envy the original viewers as well as feel for every one of them. Thanks for the clip.
This sketch is particularly funny for me because dressed like that, little Ronnie looks just like a guy i used to work with ... except he wasn't funny.

that still makes me laugh after all these years. Way better than some of the crap that passes for comedy these days.

Classic comedy which you will never see on TV again! The Two Ronnies didn't need swear words for their comedy unlike most "comedians" today
